Redd Foxx gave Morita the down payment money on his first house. True story. Gave it as a gift and said don't worry about paying it back. Just pay it forward to someone else.
FUN FACT: Morita once asked Foxx for a $3,500 loan as part of the downpayment on a home that he was trying to purchase for his expanding family. Foxx wrote Morita out a check for that amount, however, rather than have Morita pay back the loan, Foxx's only condition was that he wanted Morita to pay it forward to someone else who was in need when he was in a position to help out. This story came from Morita himself. This goes to show what a generous man Foxx was when it came to helping others out.
I am a man of little means by most measures, and in my few moments I have been fortunate to experience like this I have always expressed that same sentiment when given thanks for some small kindness: pay it forward when you can. It's heartwarming to know I am not alone in this train of thought. Thank-you kindly for sharing this very fun, heartwarming, and wholesome fact.
That is true. He had to do about 5 auditions before they called him back to read with Ralph Macchio. Don’t know how many times he read with him before deciding on him.

@@TheDoctor1225 Obviously we're talking about stereotypes here, but generically "Japanese Rice" doesn't start from uncooked; fried rice, sushi rice, rice balls, ... You don't start til your Rice Cooker sings the song (...and if you consistently eat 2+ cups of rice per day a rice cooker is far more important than a microwave or anything). It gives a certain consistency to their rice dishes that Americans (pretty generically) weren't used to back then. I've had "Chicken and Rice" at cookouts that was f'ing delicious... 10/10. But objectively? That rice was wet as hell by most culinary standards. Literal garbage (as in they'd immediately throw it away without even tasting it) from most Japanese perspectives (as I understand it).
Basically Asian people (be they Japanese ,Chinese, Korean, etc) are stereotyped for making and eating a lot of rice. Black people are also stereotyped for eating White-rice. The 2 styles of rice as different in flavor as the cultures. 😊. a lot is in his delivery too.
As an 80s kid, this would have blown my mind back then. "Fred Sanford and Mr. Miyagi know each other? Woooow. I bet i bet Lamont and Daniel know each other too".
"I haven't been Japanese since December 1941" that's just too damn funny. I didn't grow up in the 60s and 70s but man when I see these old videos, they really don't make them like they used to. From comedians to actors/entertainers, there were no shortage of talented people.
Make them? They got made in factories or something? There’s no shortage of talented people now, that’s just your assumption based on what you see in the media. Just because they push talentless people to stardom, doesn’t mean there’s a lack of talented people. Just because YOU haven’t seen many or any, doesn’t make it a fact. There’s plenty that go unheard of because they aren’t being televised etc. THINK ARTHUR, THINK!

Pat does a REALLY GOOD Redd IMPRESSION!!! Redd did not give a DAMN about paying his taxes, but in a more recent Morita interview, before he died, he said Redd helped him out of a big financial jam!
@@michaelmckenzie6311It was, and Pat said that Redd wouldn't accept repayment. He said that Redd told him to take the money, and help someone less fortunate.
Little fact: Pat developed Spinal Tuberculosis at the age of 2 and spent nearly 9 years in the hospital before being released around age 11 and having multiple spine surgeries and learning to walk.
@@priscillajimenez27 I mean, I get it. At that point, he was either "this great comedian I saw on stage" or "the guy who plays Arnold on Happy Days" - both solid reputations, but not exactly primae dramatic roles. But they gave him a chance, and he turned in possibly an iconic role that cemented his reputation (and perhaps opened the door for more comedic actors to be cast dramatically in the future).
Damn these two are a real old fashioned class act. It shows how well they work together when giving appreciation, as well as Morita’s way of speaking and talent of making the gig. They seriously are a great duo
@@Alex-zi1nb It is, but it's likely same-race--Morita did a lot of self-deprecating jokes in this bit, but/and he also gently poked fun at Black cuisine and "Black karate."
A version of this joke appears in The Karate Kid! Daniel had just been rescued by Mr. Miyagi from getting an even more serious beat down from the bullies. "What kind of belt do you have?" "Canvas, you like? JCPenny, 3.98."
Back when comedy was true to heart. I grew up in this era and missed so much of it while it was happening. Seeing these old clips is absolutely priceless, as it's showing and reminding me what was and what i missed. Love it!
THAT was the promise of equality I saw growing up in the 70's. Not the absence of race and culture but the embracing and appreciation of our differences. We are all weird in our own ways and that's lovely. "They are messin' up the rice!" Hilarious.
Both men seen Hate And pain And sorrow......Both men took it And gave you laughter And love Some of the best actors/comics/ humans...I pray when its my time...I will get front row to the next show
You know, you forget what a great comic Pat Morita truly was. I had never seen him perform before - I've just seen him as a supporting player on TV for so long, and, of course, his iconic role as Mr Miyagi. So nice that he and Redd Foxx remained friends.
I was just thinking of Pat Morita just a couple days ago. I still think i saw Mr Morita in Oahu in 1973. He looked relaxed and enjoying himself. I didn’t bother him. Its good for famous people to have time off the clock 🥰
My great uncle was friends with Pat Morita. They used to play Poker together whenever they got the chance. He didn't know he was famous until after he died and saw the obituary.
When he passed his wife sold alot of his belonging and i bought one of his pipes. Still smoke weed out of that bad boy everyday. Pat was a legend and he is very missed here in Vegas.
Redd was one of the most generous folks in show business. Loyal and giving to his friends and colleagues, insisting that they get the best material and even finding them roles on his show if they just dropped by to visit him. Then add in his financial generosity. Sad that he died poor, but at least his young protege took care of his funeral.
I guess you pat little attention to current comedy. Two joke stealers are notorious. Both are hated by comedians. Both have seen their careers tank. So whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?
If you can find Pat's stand up from earlier in the 70's its really HOOD AF. He sounds like a black dude. Ive been looking for years, his stand up was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I didnt know redd Foxx was his mentor. But you can tell by the look on his face when he introduced him how proud he was. He was cheesin so hard.
Redd Foxx gave Morita the down payment money on his first house. True story. Gave it as a gift and said don't worry about paying it back. Just pay it forward to someone else.
Also Pat seemed a bit nervous but with mentoring by Red Foxx. He will come off as natural in his routine
I'm guessing that Redd used his clout to get him the role of "Ah Chew" on "Sanford and Son." He was great in that role.
Morita’s Redd Foxx impersonation was the best ever!
I was just about to say that, spot on!
he does Redd better than Redd does Redd.
IKR it was so spot on.
He sounds exactly like him 🤣
_"My friend, the Albino Pygmy."_
You could close your eyes and swear that was Redd saying that.

This story came from Morita himself. This goes to show what a generous man Foxx was when it came to helping others out.
When you have it , its tough to loan family money. A loan can break a family apart. A gift makes it tighter.
Pay it forward, is beautiful.
Ah yes, the mythical era of when that wasn't just the deposit on a rental...

It's heartwarming to know I am not alone in this train of thought. Thank-you kindly for sharing this very fun, heartwarming, and wholesome fact.
I had a dream where Pat Morita tried to give me a $50 bill. I told him I didn't need it, so he gave to the nearest person walking by.
Redd and Pat, the original Rush Hour duo lol You can really see the admiration between the two. Respect to them both.
Maaaaan, I would kill to time travel and make Rush Hour with Redd and Pat
I got Rush Hour vibes from this too! I wonder if these two had an influence on the Rush Hour characters...I wouldn't be surprised.
If they were alive I’m pretty sure they’d had a cameo appearance in Rush Hour
We can do it with AI now lol

I heard the Karate kid producers were reluctant to hire Pat because he was(well) known as a comedian. And he's funny!!
We hadn't heard that! Thanks for sharing.
Also another mark against him was he was Arnold from Happy Days and they thought him as Mr. Miyagi was just not that believable.
